- Joining a band to play music. If you play an instrument of any kind and would like to join the band contact David Witten on 67821248 to express you interest.
- Start a Poppy Project to help decorate shop windows, street facing windows of your home, your mailbox or property entrance. Contact Ally Denyer on 0458448325 for links to a free knit or crochet poppy pattern. Poppys are not limited to knit or crochet, any medium of your choice will be fantastic!
